Where did the idea for Eldorado come from? How did you bring it to life?
After a surf-trip to morocco, photographer Dizy Dias showed us everything he had generated on that trip. We saw something different in this look and we thought that we could conceptualise an editorial project around the look of the traveller and that way of travelling, more calm, more observant, less aggressive and consumerist. With a strong link to sport and nature and to the respect and enjoyment of it.
At the beginning, Eldorado was only a paper publishing house but after the publication of the first two fanzines we realised that Eldorado had to be reborn with a digital and multi-platform soul. My partner Rafa was key to creating this new look for the project and made us see that we could not continue to be slaves to paper and that it was best to digitise the publishing project.
